A swivel-sliding door system for a vehicle having at least one door leaf situated in the vehicle wall in the closed state, and situated on the outside in front of the vehicle wall in the open state while leaving a door opening free. A drive as well as transverse and longitudinal guides are provided which enable a movement at the at least one door leaf transverse relative to the vehicle wall and along the vehicle wall, wherein the drive and the transverse and longitudinal guides are combined into one complete operating unit that can be mounted as one whole in the vehicle and be coupled to the at least one door leaf. The operating unit comprises a frame which, in assembled condition, is fixedly connected to the vehicle and an assembly which is movably provided in the frame and which comprises a drive motor for the door leaf movements. The frame may include a girder extending along the door opening and end flanges provided at the ends of the girder, wherein the movable assembly is movable along the end flanges, transversely to the vehicle wall and the girder, for executing a plug movement and wherein the drive motor effects both the plug movement and the longitudinal movement of the at least one door leaf along the vehicle wall.
A swivel-sliding door system for a vehicle having at least one door leaf, said system being configured to be situated in a vehicle wall having an opening, wherein said at least one door leaf is movable from a first closed plugged position to a second open unplugged position where said door leaf is generally parallel to but situated outwardly from the vehicle wall and slideable transversely therealong, the door system further comprising:
A swivel-sliding door system for a vehicle having at least one door leaf, wherein said at least one door leaf is moveable from a first closed plugged position to a second open unplugged position where said door leaf in the open position is generally parallel to but situated outwardly from the vehicle wall and slideable transversely therealong, the door system comprising an operating unit having
A swivel-sliding door system for a vehicle having an external wall surface and at least one door leaf situated flush with a vehicle wall surface in a closed position, and situated outside said wall surface in an open position while leaving a door opening unobstructed, wherein the at least one door leaf follows a first transverse path from said open position, then transversely relative to the vehicle wall and along and outside of the vehicle wall, to stop point in front of but spaced from said door opening and then moving to a closed plugged position whereby the leaf is fitted to and in contact with said opening, by a plugging movement from said stop point and then in a direction orthogonal of said transverse movement to plugged position, the door system comprising:
